Dabo Application Framework for Python in Launchpad

Dabo Application Framework for Python Dabo is a 3-tier, cross-platform application development framework, written in Python atop the wxPython GUI toolkit. And while Dabo is designed to create database-centric apps, that is not a requirement. Lots of people are using Dabo for the GUI tools to create apps that have no need to connect to a database at all. Desktop applications. That's what Dabo does. It's not YAWF (yet another web framework). There are plenty of excellent web frameworks out there, so if that's what you are looking for, Dabo isn't for you. But there are almost no desktop application frameworks out there, and if you want to create applications that run on Windows, OS X or Linux, Dabo is for you! We have taken what we've learned from 25 combined years of database application development, and built an easy-to-use runtime framework that runs on all three major platforms. Dabo consists of 3 logical tiers (UI; business logic; database access) plus an umbrella application object. More information can be found at http://dabodev.com/
